There was some local entertainment on stage, so I photographed these classic Swiss activities, blowing the alphorn and yodling (sp). For once, I have also included two alternate images. The main pic was taken with the somewhat unusual combination of an M3 and a 24mm Elmarit, while both alternates were done with the M3 and the Voigtländer/Cosina Nokton. The film was Delta 3200 rated at 1600, and I developed it in XTOL 1+1 rather than Ilford DD-X or XTOL stock. I found that with the diluted XTOL the negatives have lower contrast than what I usually get with this film, which is a good thing for scanning purposes and presumably also with condenser enlargers.
